The International Day of Forests 2024 is commemorated on March 21st , and its theme - "Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World" - is a call to action for all of us to work together

The International Day of Forests 2024 is commemorated on March 21st , and its theme - "Forests and Innovation: New Solutions for a Better World" - is a call to action for all of us to work together to protect our precious forests. Innovative solutions are crucial to ensuring that forests continue to thrive and provide us with a host of benefits, from clean air to biodiversity. It is important that we join the movement to make a positive impact on our planet and create a better world for ourselves and future generations. In this radio program, we remember and mourn 77 Indigenous people who were killed in 2023. We also recognize and condemn attacks, disappearances, criminalization, and other forms of violence committed against Indigenous defenders worldwide.

Everything we were taught to believe about crime, justice, race, and gender needs to be criticized, says Marlon Peterson: We need to recenter humanity in accountability measures; we must allow room

Everything we were taught to believe about crime, justice, race, and gender needs to be criticized, says Marlon Peterson: We need to recenter humanity in accountability measures; we must allow room for various identities in criminal justice discourse. Formerly incarcerated author and activist Marlon Peterson is one of the many vanguards in changing the world we live in, and he documents it all in his new memoir Bird Uncaged. Born and raised by Trinidadian parents in Brooklyn, NY, Peterson spent his childhood adjacent to ongoing city violence while simultaneously preaching the good word alongside his father, a devout Jehovah's Witness. His parents immigrated to the United States to achieve the long-desired American Dream, and Peterson too believed it was possible. But in the aftermath of physical and sexual trauma, Peterson made a series of choices that led to his participation in a robbery that resulted in two murders, granting him 10 years in prison at the age of 19. Spending his twenties incarcerated, Peterson completed his Associates Degree in Criminal Justice with Honors and immersed himself in anti-violence activism, education and prison abolition. In Bird Uncaged, Peterson exposes the brutality of incarceration and the hollowness of the American Dream. He encourages us all to reveal and break from the many cages — both physical and metaphorical — created and maintained by American society. Join us as Marlon Peterson envisions a new world that focuses on healing instead of punishment, an end to mass incarceration, and a new vision of justice.

As climate change becomes increasingly urgent, it is becoming our responsibility to do our very best to combat it. In my talk, I give a comprehensive guide as to how you can thoroughly reduce your waste and align your sustainability values with your actions, and how these actions inspire large-scale change. Together, we have the potential to reverse the negative effects of climate change. I hope this talk serves as a catalyst for a fundamental change in the way you view how your lifestyle impacts the Earth. Isabel is a junior at Jones, who is interested in the intersection between entrepreneurship and sustainability. She founded a company, greenteen, focusing on just that. She loves learning about how to have a positive impact on people, animals, and the planet as best she can. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
